Ethologisch fundierte Empfehlungen für eine artgemäße Zoohaltung von Schwarzfußkatzen Felis nigripes Burchell, 1824

The behaviour of wild-caught animals was studied and compared with that of well integrated or zoo-born individuals. Here too an important reduction in activity was noted. The effect of behavioural enrichment measures, such as play, feeding methods, olfactory stimuli, as well as the rearing of young, on a positive increase in diurnal activity is discussed.
